RP - Weekly, December 6th

A NOTE FROM PHIL
This Sunday is the last week to take an ornament from the 'Angel Tree' - we've 29 ornaments left to be taken.
Park-RP,  Advent is a time that stirs with hope and anticipation as we remind ourselves that in Jesus, God stepped into our world so we no longer have to remain in darkness. Jesus bore on himself the darkness of this world, fully understanding the weight of our struggles. Yet, through the cross, He broke the shackles of our sin, offering us the gift of His light—a light that dispels fear, lifts shame, and leads us forward in wisdom clothed in His righteousness.

It's my hope and prayer that over the coming weeks you will experience a fresh wind of joy in Gospel this Christmas!

This Sunday, as we reflect on Luke 13:10-21, we’ll be reminded that the hope of God’s intervening grace frees us from a life confined by rigid, mechanical rules. Instead, God invites us to live in the expectation of His love—a love that continues to surprise and transform us in ways we could never predict.

Upcoming 

Serving at Park-RP

When you join a serving team, you're not just volunteering; you're becoming an integral part of our church family. It's where friendships begin, where commitment is strengthened, and where you will truly start to feel like you belong.

Giving at Park-RP

We believe that giving is an act of worship. It recognizes God as the owner and source of all we have. It is our cheerful response to God in praise of His radical generosity towards us.

Neighborhood Partners

Collaboration allows us to leverage our strengths, compensate for our weaknesses, and reach areas and demographics of our city that might otherwise remain untouched.
